Be patient when first accessing the Webmin interface at http:// or https://WhatEverURL:10000 because Wemin's default theme is a resource hog.  Wait for it to completely come up.  Disabled all the "Real-time monitoring options" in its configuration page (Webmin, Webmin Configuration, Webmin Themes)
My router doesn't have the most powerful CPU and I noticed it was acting very sluggishly after the Webmin installation.  It turns out it was a process named "authentic-theme/index.cgi" that was being (the current theme used by Webmin).  I switched to the "Old Webmin" theme and that solved the excessive CPU usage issue, but my neck hurt from being jerked so far back in time with the "Old Webmin" theme (they weren't kidding about old).  So I switched back to the modern theme and disabled all the "Real-time monitoring options" in its configuration page (Webmin, Webmin Configuration, Webmin Themes).  The modern theme is still more intensive when using, but I'm spoiled by its modern interface so I'm not ready to switch back to the old one just for performance.
